Students accuse a teacher of racism over screening of Shakespearean classic Othello
US composer of Chinese origin Bright Sheng canceled his seminar at the University of Michigan after students accused him of racism. The reason was that he screened the 1965 film Othello, in which the main character is played by Sir Laurence Olivier in blackface. The local Michigan Daily reported on this last week.
Sheng, a 65-year-old who has worked at the University of Michigan for over 20 years and whose compositions are played by leading orchestras around the world, wanted to lead a seminar on Shakespeareâs works this semester. In the first lesson, he played a film for students in which one of the greatest British actors of all time plays one of the most famous characters from the tragedy, albeit with a blackened face.
University and teacher beg, apologize
âI was completely shocked,â one of the students wrote in a complaint about Sheng to faculty management. The administration later apologized. Sheng apologized as well, and his course was then taken over by David Gier, Dean of the Faculty of Music and Theater. âShengâs action is not in line with the beliefs of our school, which fights against racism and for equality and inclusion,â Gier said of the September incident.
âAs a teacher, I represent the university and I should have been more sensitive. I apologize for my action, which offended and angered you [âŠ] I lost your trust by doing this,â Sheng wrote in an apology. He denied the allegations of racism and noted that he had worked with a number of people of African origin during his long and respected career.
âBright Sheng survived Maoâs Cultural Revolution, but may not professionally survive the action of a group of Michigan students,â said one Twitter comment.
Blackface has been considered unequivocally and universally racist in America in recent years. In 2019, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau experienced a similar incident when the media published a photo of him from several years earlier, showing him in blackface at an âArabian Nightsâ party. Trudeau eventually apologized for not knowing at the time that it could be considered racism.

âAfter fear comes angerâ â Austrian psychologist warns of lockdown consequences
The Viennese psychologist Anna Werksnies described the mechanisms and the consequences of the pandemic.
âAfter fear comes anger and with it the loss of solidarity, integrity and loyalty,â Werksnies said about social developments in connection with the Corona crisis. âInsecurities, aggression and mistrust are quietly and secretly becoming constant companions of our everyday life. Society breaks up into subgroups that fight each other.â
On the website keinstatus.at, she described fundamental developments using fear as a strategy. âThe best strategy to make someone docile, obedient, or conformist is simply to scare them. The more fearful a person becomes, the more willing they are to do anything to get rid of the powerful emotion of fear.â
A lot of money was also being spent on image consultants, communication experts, chaos architects and lobbyists and because of them, the Sars-Cov-2 virus has been âmassively polarizedâ.
When fear arises, there is a great urge to bond with someone who promises a remedy, Werksnies said, pointing to human survival strategies based on evolutionary biology. It is not so much the quality of the liberator that plays a role, âbut the presence, the power and the dominanceâ. People persist for a while âin this tendency to bond with the liberator and the masses behave calmly and adjustedâ.
The explanations and arguments used are ânot necessarily logical or sound,â since they are only designed to âjust reach many people easily and quicklyâ. Among other things, the online platform Twitter is very well suited for this. But it becomes very dangerous if the anxiety that is generated lasts too long, she added.
Then a valve is sought to be able to let out the pent-up anger arising out of fear: âIn that case, a scapegoat has to be found.â The directed anger is âoften not logically rationalâ. For the âliberatorâ it is important to then provide a âscapegoatâ, according to the psychologist in order not to become a target.
Werksnies underlined that politicians often like to play the role of the âliberatorâ and use this simple strategy to gain power.
Algerian asylum seeker commits 33 offences in the only two months he has been staying in Germany
One of the two crooks who were arrested by the police on Wednesday evening is not an “old acquaintance”, but he has an even more intensive ” relationship” with the police. In the 8 days he has spent in the district of Soest, the police have already had to deal with him seven times.The man from Algeria has committed a total of 33 offences in the two months he has been staying in North Rhine-Westphalia.
He got his recent record in the police files together with a 23-year-old – both currently residents of the refugee accommodation centre in Möhnesee – in front of the City-Center on Wednesday evening.
Around 7.45 pm on Wednesday evening, the police were called to the Soest bus station. There, employees of the public order office were already busy settling a dispute between several people. A 26-year-old man from Lippstadt and a 36-year-old woman from Werl had been waiting jointly for a bus. At first they could only watch a crime being committed, the man from Lippstadt then became a victim himself.
First they observed two men leaving the City Centre. “One of them stowed a pair of bathing slippers with a purchase label in his rucksack. The second exchanged his shoes for a pair of new sneakers, from which he disposed of the purchase label,” according to the police report.
The two men, aged 23 and 27, who are currently living in the central accommodation facility (ZUE) for refugees near Möhnesee, then approached the man from Lippstadt and the woman from Werl. One of them distracted them, while the second one took the Lippstadt man’s rucksack. However, this did not go unnoticed.
The arriving police first recorded the facts of the case. “The 27-year-old claimed to have just bought the shoes from a mate in front of the station. The other did not give any details. The 23-year-old had the stolen rucksack on his back. He tried to disguise it with his own backpack, which he was wearing over it,” the police report says.
The officers seized the stolen shoes and handed the backpack over to its owner. During the search of the two suspects
the police also found a small bag of cannabis in one of the 27-year-old’s trouser pockets. The two men were then expelled by the police. But that was not all:
The 27-year-old refused to comply with the order. He was then taken into custody. On the way to the police station, he threatened several times to kill the police officers. Before he was taken to the prison, the officers searched him again more thoroughly. In the process, another nine sachets of cannabis turned up.
“This indicates that the 27-year-old is dealing drugs,” explains police spokesman Wolfgang LĂŒckenkemper. He is a real serial offender: 33 records with the North Rhine-Westphalia police since the man has been in the state, and now already 7 reports with the police in just 8 days since his arrival at Möhnesee.
At least after the night in police custody, there was no sign of insight or improvement. When he was released on Thursday morning, the police officers again had to deal with nasty abuse, and on top of that he demanded the return of the drugs.
Germany: Arab masseur rapes his very first female client
Ahmad H. (53 years old) had just been working in the Cologne massage studio for four weeks. When his boss then trusted him to leave him alone with a customer, he took underhanded advantage.
On Wednesday, the local court sentenced the Syrian to two years and three months in prison for rape.
He had first asked the customer (27 years old), who confided in him for a back and neck massage in April 2019, to strip down to her panties. So that the massage oil would not stain her pants, he claimed.
According to the woman’s account, she fell asleep during the treatment – and woke up again when the man was penetrating her with a finger. Ahmad H. then left the massage room, returned a short time later and told her that he had just satisfied himself in the toilet.
In court, Ahmad H. denied the allegations and claimed that the woman had molested HIM. The judge did not believe him.
France: Muslims threaten to kill pupils for imitating Muslim prayer
The case is not dissimilar to that of young Mila. A group of young people from Nantes were victims of online threats for several days after imitating a Muslim prayer, as reported by Ouest France on Thursday October 14. An investigation was launched for ” offences with a view to committing a felony or criminal offence ” and police patrols had to be deployed around the high school attended by the victims.
It all started with a video shot in a private setting in January that was not intended for broadcast. According to the newspaper, the 17-second film, shot during a birthday party, shows the youths, who were in ninth grade at the time, laughing as they imitate Muslims praying. Nevertheless, the footage was posted on Twitter and Instagram in early October, triggering a stream of abuse and death threats. Unlike the case of Mila, who was accused by her harassers of publicly insulting Islam, “this is more of a very silly goings-on,” a source familiar with the case told Ouest France. “But we can see that it is already getting out of control.The pseudonyms and sometimes even the real names of the youths were published on social networks. The investigators therefore claim that they are taking the matter seriously. A few days after the first broadcast of the video and the filing of the first complaints, on Wednesday October 13, they were still in the consultation phase.But then they began to identify the anonymous user accounts behind which the abusers were hiding. They face up to five years in prison. At the same time, their school headmasters and parents’ associations say they are careful not to stigmatise them and warn students not to misuse social networks.

Idiots, be woke over China, not Israel
by Giulio MeottiÂ
âHating Israel doesn’t make you wokeâ, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told the UN General Assembly just recently. He is in the minoirity. Yes, especially in the literary world, wokes flirt with those who want to cancel the Jewish State.
Sally Rooney, one of the best-selling and most acclaimed writers in the Anglo-Saxon world – and who calls herself a “Marxist” – refused the publication of her new novel in Hebrew due to the boycott of Israel, which she supports. The Israeli publisher of Rooney’s first two books, Modan, told media that Rooney bans any release in Israel.
Booker Prize-winning novelist John Berger asked colleagues to refuse to publish in Israel. The English writer Iain Banks announced that his novels would never again be published in the Jewish State. Another British novelist, Kamila Shamsie, awarded and appreciated, told the Israeli publisher Keter: “I would be very happy to be published in Hebrew, but I do not know any Hebrew publisher who is not Israeli”. And so in Germany the Nelly Sachs Prize, named after the famous Jewish writer, was withdrawn from her. At least that.
Alice Walker, author of the famous book, The Color Purple, also refused the Hebrew translation.
Deborah Harris, the agent of David Grossman and Meir Shalev, said many foreign publishers are boycotting Israeli authors. âBooks that I could have easily placed with major publishers ten years ago have been politely rejectedâ, she told Time.
Eshkol Nevo, whose books have been translated into English, Italian and German, says that “I have not been translated in the Scandinavian countries and the people I work with have told me that the boycott is the reason”.
It is not only in Europe that we should remember when the Reichinstituts fĂŒr Geschichte des Neuen Deutschlands, the Institute for the History of the New Nazi Germany, searched Europe for Jewish books to confiscate and destroy.
It should also be remembered that there are no Western authors who have ever rejected the publication of their novels in Turkey, where the writer Ahmet Altan has spent four years in prison for criticizing Erdogan, or in China, where a Nobel Prize Laureate, writer Liu Xiaobo, died behind bars.
Today’s writer is labelled trendy and woke by targeting the only open society from Casablanca to India.
